Fern Britton has updated fans on her current relationship with Phillip Schofield.
The TV presenter, 65, hosted This Morning alongside Phillip, 61, from 2002 until 2009, after which reports emerged the two were no longer friends.
The former Breakfast Time star was replaced by Holly Willoughby, who presented alongside Phillip until he stepped down in May, just days before he publicly confirmed his affair with a young male colleague at ITV.

Sharing a fresh update on where the two stand, Fern confirmed they don’t speak anymore.
“We were involved in the show and mates at the time, but we don’t really [speak anymore],” she told Good Housekeeping.
The star added: “My time at This Morning was marvellous and I adored the 10 years I was there.
“I feel you should never look back. I don’t think I’d be able to turn the clock back; it wouldn’t work that way.”

In light of the scandal, Fern shared a cryptic message to former This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes, who made his feelings on the affair clear after doing an explosive interview with GB News.
“Unexpected calls from old mates are so lovely,” Fern tweeted shortly after the scandal broke. “Just had the loveliest catch up with @EamonnHolmes. I think we have known each other since the 80’s when we were babies Shooting the breeze.”
Just hours before, Eamonn mocked the reported This Morning row when he suggested that Holly and Phil should have won the Best Actor award at Sunday night’s (May 14) BAFTA TV Awards.

On his GB News show, he said: “I think there should have been a special award for Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby for best actors.
“They may or may not be together on the telly today. The public surely will suss that there’s no chemistry, that it’s a broken fit between the two of them and that This Morning does not depend on who presents it.
“It’s an institution, it will carry on no matter who presents it and anyone can check the viewing figures, there’s no difference between whether they present it or anyone else.”
